Quote by Paul G. Gleason

“Acting activates every cell, never, neuron, and everything that happened to your DNA a million years ago as well as everything that will happen a million years from now. If we didn’t believe that, we wouldn’t be interested in acting. If acting didn’t include something more than we could ever comprehend, we don’t think we would want to pursue it. Acting is so incredible that it gives an audience the potential to experience anything that will ever happen in the history of the world. That is why we call acting the human condition. It takes an incredible amount of intensity and passion to truly be an actor.”

“It’s a part of the human nature that nothing is easier than uniting in hatred and demolishing what is established, and nothing is harder than agreeing on the way to build what’s sought. For destruction is an instinct that doesn’t require thought. Whereas construction requires knowledge, work, cooperation, and planning.”
